Studio
Studio Nocturne is a full-service architecture and design firm with an award winning and expanding portfolio of residential and commercial projects. We tackle a diverse range of project types while tailoring outcomes to each client’s needs. We specialize in high-performance contemporary design informed by art, history, and the land. We are respectful of the past while moving forward.
We believe that great architecture is an expression of understanding. Understanding our client’s needs, ideas, and dreams, as well as, understanding the constraints of site, material, time and cost. With our commitment to professionalism and timely delivery, we carefully manage every phase—from concept to completion—ensuring that each project is executed with precision and care.
Studio Nocturne does not design for the sake of novelty; we build for the way people live. Every space has a story, every form a reason. At Studio Nocturne, we make enduring architecture.
Testimonials:
“ ... In a few iterations we quickly decided on the final approach, which created a truly “WOW” design by utilizing novel materials to achieve an “opaque transparency” with ingenious reflections that maximize light getting into our wide window front adjacent to the entrance while making the construction virtually disappear... The final outcome exceeded our expectations: Neal’s work along with the craftsmanship of the contractor resulted in an entrance that looks beautiful, simple, surprising – and gives us joy every day.”

“ Studio Nocturne reconfigured our basement, helping us maximize our space and turning it from a dark gloomy feel to nice and bright with added windows and design recommendations. They also a managed the permitting process for us and coordinated with structural engineers to achieve top results. We are super happy with our new basement!!”
